Helen Charlston is joined by the Consone Quartet, the first period-instrument quartet to be selected as BBC New Generation Artists, and winners of multiple prestigious awards. They perform Schumann’s Frauenliebe und -leben in an arrangement for quartet by Bill Thorp that highlights the beautiful clarity of lines in Schumann’s writing and gives us a fresh aural perspective on this familiar work.
